I am in a bit of a conundrum about this blogging business. Typically, I write pretty much everything that is going on in my life (except anything that has to do with surprise birthday parties!). But I'm not really sure how to write about a particular piece of information I received a couple of days ago, nor am I sure if the person will want to read about her painful experience on my blog. But I also don't want to pretend it never happened because my friend is having a hard time and I have learned from my own painful experiences that not discussing it does not make it go away or get better. So I guess I'm just going to discuss it and if it wasn't meant to be published there will be an error and all will be lost, or if it upsets my friend she will tell me and I will remove it.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the great news that my friend, Wendy and her boyfriend, David were expecting a baby. They miscarried recently. We were so excited for them and it makes me so sad for Wendy and what she is going through right now. I wish I were in Chicago so I could give her a big hug, listen when she's upset and make her laugh when she needs to laugh. I can write or call but it isn't the same as being there. Mostly I wish I could make it all better, but I also realize that 1. I can't make it all better and 2. People deal with the own pain differently and the last thing I would want to do is make it worse. I guess all I can do is say that I'm thinking about you, Wendy and I'm sad that you're sad and if you need anything at all please let me know.
